Pavilion Partners October Social –So you think you want to be famous? Lone Star College-Montgomery’s first show of the 2012-13 theatre season, Somebody/Nobody by Jane Martin, is all about poking fun of celebrities and the fact that either you’re famous and have what it takes—or you don’t.

“Somebody/Nobody takes a hard, but hilarious look at what the acquisition of fame does to both body and soul,” said Tim Campbell, associate professor of drama at LSC-Montgomery. “Any human being who has secretly longed to see his or her name in lights will recognize the outrageous behavior of Martin's quirky characters.”

Performance will be held in the mainstage theatre of the Performing Arts Center (Building D Saturday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m. Please watch for an Evite from the social committee, or rsvp to lwilliams@woodlandscenter.org.
